Character Sketches, Development Drawings: Pictures of Wit and Humour, done in Permanent Lines for Posterity. By the late CHARLES H. BENNETT and ROBERT B. BROUGH.

By the testimony of all his contemporaries, the late C. H. Bennett was unequalled in his peculiar walk as a draughtsman. He certainly was unrivalled altogether in the thoughtfulness of his compositions. His early death was a great loss. As an author, Robert Brough shares, to the full, in the general opinion entertained of his friend and colleague in the work now first produced as a whole. He was a writer whose attainments were exceedingly great, and whose wit and humour have been universally acknowledged and enjoyed.

On toned paper, beautifully bound, gilt edges, price 155.

COBBIN'S ILLUSTRATED FAMILY BIBLE and PEOPLE'S COMMENTARY. With Family Register, and over One Thousand Page and other Illustrations of Biblical Localities, and of Incidents from the Holy Scriptures, by OVERBECK, RETHEL, and other great Scriptural Artists. With a large number of full-page Coloured Pictures.

A Family Bible and Commentary, cheap in price, trustworthy in explanations, and attractive in form, has long been desired. "COBBIN'S ILLUSTRATED FAMILY BIBLE AND PEOPLE'S COMMENTARY" will be found to give a number of advantages to purchasers. Some of these advantages are described below.

1. It is the first Family Bible published with beautifully Coloured Plates. II. The present Family Bible is by far the Cheapest yet published. The price is scarcely one-third of the price which is now paid for the lowest priced Family Bible, although these have been hitherto considered marvels of cheapness.

III. The Commentary, by one of our most eminent Biblical Scholars, will be found complete, and affords all needed information for an intelligent perusal of Holy Writ, now so closely searched, and made the subject of much hostile as well as friendly criticism. Thus in this edition of the Bible, purchasers possess an admirable Commentary-clear, concise, and thoroughly trustworthy. Many Commentaries occupy the space of six volumes, costing a large sum of money; and hardly any really good Commentary can be bought which does not occupy as many as three volumes. But "COBBIN'S FAMILY BIBLE AND PEOPLE'S COMMENTARY" combines, for Clergymen, Teachers, and Students, in one compact, handsome, and port. able volume, both the Text of Holy Writ and a full Commentary. The well engraved and printed Maps and Illustrative Engravings, the beautiful many-coloured Pictures, the artistic and useful Register of Family Events, printed in Tints, and ruled for the insertion of the Family Names and Events, all unite to form a Bible for the People of Great Britain, as well fitted for the Cottage by its cheapness as for the Palace by its Completeness of Text and Commentary and beauty of appearance.
